Duke Basketball: R.J. Barrett’s triple-double keeps NC State at bay

The Duke Blue Devils were able to hold off the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Saturday night with many former players attendance, along with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather.

Duke was led by R.J. Barrett who notched his first triple double of his Duke career and the first triple double in Duke history since 2006 when Shelden Williams notched 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks against Maryland.

Barrett is also the first Duke freshman to have a triple double since Gene Banks in 1987 with a 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists against Lehigh.
